Knitting for newborns has to be one of the easiest and most satisfying ways to knit. I actually started this project for another little baby but it sat in the WIP pile for a little too long and then I got pregnant with emerson. It sat there until yesterday when I decided to finish it.
This is an easy pattern and knit all in one piece so it’s fast to knit – assuming you don’t put it in your WIP pile like I did.
After my little model in it, I’m most in love with the colour. I’m really enjoying experimenting with new colours for boys and this one is something different but it would also make a great unisex colour. The yarn is BC Garn from here and the colour is 107.

The buttons complement it perfectly and are just from Spotlight. You need about 7 buttons and part of the fun of finishing a project (well there has to be a fun part since I hate the whole seaming and weaving in ends so much) is finding THE perfect button to match.
I will definitely be making another one of these for my little guy but with long sleeves (there are 3 sleeve options in the pattern.You will find the ravelry details are here and it’s definitely one to make for newborns!
Oh wow, all your knitting/crochet projects are such an inspiration to me! I’m only learning and am self-taught so I’m slow, but I love bookmarking your creations for one day when I’m much better at it all! Thank you!
oh that is divine and the vest is cute too!
Emerson is perfect. He has the most gorgeous face!
That colour really suits him.
He is just a perfect doll Corrie! 😀 The colour suits him so perfectly. How do you find the time to make these gorgeous creations? Do you have elves? ;)xxx

Hola, me encanta tu blog. Se ha convertido en unos de mis favoritos.
Me gustaria aprender ha hacer ese jersey tan bonito que le has hecho a tu bebé, pero yo no soy tan hábil como tu con las agujas. Se que ahora estarás muy ocupada con el recien llegado y el resto de tu familia, pero cuando tengas algún tiempo, te agradeceria mucho que pudieras hacer un tutorial de ese jerseicito tan bonito que has hecho.
Recibe un cordial saludo,
Eva
Very sweet! I am knitting one for a friend who has recently had a baby who lives in Europe. I have found the pattern runs fairly large. The first one I started fits my petite 3yo so had to start a second one. I just finished knitting the body and now need to do the sleeves and pick out buttons. I’ve used Bendigo Woollen Mills wool (luxury in Lake). It is such a sweet pattern. Jacinta
This little knit is adorable!
